Sewer hose?

I'm reinstalling the sewer hose storage on the Lance, which is just a 4" PVC tube with a hatch on the end. I used to carry 2-10' sections of hose in the TT bumper...most of the time 10' would do it but every once in a while you couldn't get close enough to the dump drain...

I tried to get a 10' section into the storage tube and only half of it would fit...do you guys only carry a 5' dump hose? seems awfully short. Is there a brand of hose where a 10' section collapses to a shorter length? Or are there other places to store the hose?

    Macerator pumps are costly, short lived and high maintenance items.
    Sewer solution does the same job without moving parts - using city water pressure.

    My problem with the **** hose is that the end doesn't even fit into the compartment so I keep it in a non-**** oriented compartment.

    I used a hollow square plastic fence post and cut to fit width of MH. Strapped it to the gas tank supports with long metal screw straps. If I remember correctly it is 5 inches square and allows me to keep fittings on both ends of sewer hose and store a section of gutter for a slope ramp. End caps secured with short bungee cords.
